A journalist that decides to cover any kind of war or social confrontations (cartels) knows that his life is five times more endangered than any police or military individuals, And a staggering 200 times more than any civilian living in the area of conflict! So every time a journalist is killed,a source of info gets turned off. As humans we are worth the same, but a journalist claims more attention because he or she sacrificed their lives just to bring you news. So next time a journalists gets killed don&#39;t give me your BS about other people getting killed! People die everyday, but A journalist leaves a big gap to be filled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-50517296967038852712012-05-05T13:47:28.117-07:002012-05-05T13:47:28.117-07:00May 4, 2012 9:14 PM .

And YES, I DO think a war correspondent is heroic. What do you do for a living? I imagine it doesn&#39;t involve any bravery. And HEY MAN the main contributor Chivis IS based in Mexico. Why do you even bother to come to this blog or read anything when you clearly have no appreciation or concept of the risk or the work involved. They are not even being paid to do this work at BB.

All of the other stuff that goes on is harldy ever reported. Also look at the comments that are posted on here, what 4. Versus the 30+ commenst already on the 9 people hanged in NL. So you do see where people &quot;care&quot; about, and its not on good reporting.

They ARE different than many other victims because free press and access to information are the vestiges of civil society, and it is these people that are out there putting their necks out everyday to tell the people what is really happening. When these brave souls are killed/murdered, the information is tightly controlled and society is unable to grasp or effect change around them. Just ask the North Koreans or the Soviets about that one. That is why journalists being slain is extra-tragic. Not only as victims but for what it means to a civil society. Press in Mexico is already severely restricted. That is why we rely on the(equally brave) souls at Borderland Beat for news instead of official sources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-18342853333169800632012-05-04T11:14:03.839-07:002012-05-04T11:14:03.839-07:00The only thing that bothers me in all of this,is t...The only thing that bothers me in all of this,is the seeming difference between journalists and other working people.What is so shocking and upsetting when a journalist is killed as opposed to hundreds of other innocent people?In an ideal world,no one would be getting killed,but the outrage at these killings is somewhat puzzling.<br />Journalists unfortunately like many other victims in this madness are not sacrosanct,and nor are they more important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-36518923358492127592012-05-04T11:11:25.486-07:002012-05-04T11:11:25.486-07:00that&#39;s just sad. im speechless...

...jajaja funny, Martinez is a very common surname.<br /><br />Your idea is a good one. Especially since the majority of reporters in Mexico get next to nothing for pay and most have a secondary job to suplement income. Have you heard of CJP? here is their write up on the murders..<br /><br />http://cpj.org/reports/2012/04/impunity-index-2012.php<br /><br />They probably would know of how to form a fund or if there is one, I know of none though I am sure the Journalist Union in Ver will help the families in at least a small way. Here is the problem of trying to help, those who assist &quot;enemies&quot; of cartels then become enemies themselves and are targeted. I do not believe Regina was married. Yes it is very sad and we are all losers as these actions are not only retribution but to terrorize other journalists. It is horrible that Huge just returned after a leave of absence after Ordaz was killed....your idea is a good one and I would think a fund could be organzied IN EU, it would be a worthy effort...If you are in a position to take on something like that I know you would get a lot of support from readers, including me, Martinez the blog contributor, not the journalist...and that&#39;s my Dos Centavos.

Now I&#39;ll feel guilty looking at pictures too.<br /><br />My heart really goes out to their heartbroken families, and I hope they know many people around the world respected their efforts. Their lives ended early, but it was not a waste because by conveying their information maybe lives were saved by people remembering and avoiding those areas etc.<br /><br />Chivis, where are there foundations raising money to help the families of some of these unfortunate dead 76 journalists and photojournalists in Mexico who lost their lives and family income. Seems being the humanitarian that you are you could answer that off the top of your head. Borderland Beat should start a fund just for that. Maybe Buggs should be investigating that instead of Chivis Martinez, oh yea, Regina Martinez.<br /><br />What do you think Chivis? You have an opinion on just about everything. What do you say today O wise one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-82367043175260289212012-05-03T18:15:03.179-07:002012-05-03T18:15:03.179-07:00Kill the journalists and then kill the ruling elit...Kill the journalists and then kill the ruling elite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
